However, although accurate onboard navigation sensors track the moment-to-moment pose of the UAV in flight, geometric distortions are introduced into the scanned data sets. Consequently, considerable time-consuming (user\/manual) post-processing rectification effort is generally required to retrieve geometrically accurate mosaics of the hyperspectral data cubes. Moreover, due to the line-scan nature of many hyperspectral sensors and their intrinsic inability to exploit structure from motion (SfM), only 2D mosaics are generally created. To address this, we propose a fast, automated and computationally robust georectification and mosaicking technique that generates 3D hyperspectral point clouds. The technique first morphologically and geometrically examines (and, if possible, repairs) poorly constructed individual hyperspectral cubes before aligning these cubes into swaths. The luminance of each individual cube is estimated and normalised, prior to being integrated into a swath of images. The hyperspectral swaths are co-registered to a targeted element of a luminance-normalised orthomosaic obtained using a standard red\u2013green\u2013blue (RGB) camera and SfM. To avoid computationally intensive image processing operations such as 2D convolutions, key elements of the orthomosaic are identified using pixel masks, pixel index manipulation and nearest neighbour searches. Maximally stable extremal regions (MSER) and speeded-up robust feature (SURF) extraction are then combined with maximum likelihood sample consensus (MLESAC) feature matching to generate the best geometric transformation model for each swath. This geometrically transforms and merges individual pushbroom scanlines into a single spatially continuous hyperspectral mosaic; and this georectified 2D hyperspectral mosaic is then converted into a 3D hyperspectral point cloud by aligning the hyperspectral mosaic with the RGB point cloud used to create the orthomosaic obtained using SfM. A high spatial accuracy is demonstrated. Hyperspectral mosaics with a 5 cm spatial resolution were mosaicked with root mean square positional accuracies of 0.42 m. The technique was tested on five scenes comprising two types of landscape. The entire process, which is coded in MATLAB, takes around twenty minutes to process data sets covering around 30 Ha at a 5 cm resolution on a laptop with 32 GB RAM and an Intel\u00ae Core i7-8850H CPU running at 2.60 GHz.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15184624","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,20]],"date-time":"2023-09-20T21:47:03Z","timestamp":1695246423000},"page":"4624","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Automated Georectification, Mosaicking and 3D Point Cloud Generation Using UAV-Based Hyperspectral Imagery Observed by Line Scanner Imaging Sensors"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2690-0838","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anthony","family":"Finn","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Science Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, University of South Australia, Mawson Lakes, Adelaide, SA 5095, Australia"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3604-4625","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Stefan","family":"Peters","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Science Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, University of South Australia, Mawson Lakes, Adelaide, SA 5095, Australia"}]},{"given":"Pankaj","family":"Kumar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Science Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, University of South Australia, Mawson Lakes, Adelaide, SA 5095, Australia"}]},{"given":"Jim","family":"O\u2019Hehir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Science Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, University of South Australia, Mawson Lakes, Adelaide, SA 5095, Australia"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"693","DOI":"10.1007\/s11119-012-9274-5","article-title":"The application of small unmanned aerial systems for precision agriculture: A review","volume":"13","author":"Zhang","year":"2012","journal-title":"Precis.
